There's some footage of Metroid Prime Hunters playing at PAX. -It seems to be showing the single player mode (a scan visor and cut-scenes are shown) and it's looking good. -Samus' character model is improved, it seems. -There are different doors. -Missle and energy pickups are different. -Missle blasts leave blue smoke. -The HUD is different.-There is no score anymore.-New enemies are shown.-An energy tank is collected.-An artifact is collected. In order to collect it though, you need to scan it.-When you take damage, a little bar above the energy bar that is part of the helmet goes red.-Also, it isn't timed anymore.

Shit, wonder why nobody put up DarkFader's dump of the Hunters Demo ROM in here. There's readers and decompilers for it already. I gots them somewhere, and will upload the ROM and the tools tomorrow for y'all to pick at. So in the meantime, a few things found in the ROM by SharQueDo, a member on a forum I admin at:Test level

War Wasp (unused enemy)

Don't remember if this was in the demo or not, it was labeled as the 5th multiplayer stage apparently, with no 4th stage mentioned at ALL in the files (another leftover, perhaps?)

Interesting stuff. That stage doesn't seem to be in the First Hunt Demo.

Okay, as I said I got the ROM and tools needed.First things first, you NEED ndstool. It's made by DarkFader, who did the first everything on the DS (dumping data via WiFi, dumping ROMs, making ROM hacks, making homebrew code, making a flash cart, making a trojan, making a repair tool for said trojan, etc)Here

Next you need dsgraph. It's the geometry viewer for the Hunters demo. It's also a bitch to find. So, here you go.

Finally, the hard-to-get ROM. Before you can open it in dsgraph, you need to decompress it with ndstool. And I believe that you drag files onto the dsgraph window, else you get errors. And there is a bug involving loading the same model twice. So, the ROM.

If you want to hotlink the files, be my guest, just be gentle. If you can't get it to work, search on the GBADev forums in DS development, but be warned that topics might be hacked up, since the site is against piracy.

Go nuts.

Damn, it's looking swell. The graphics are awesome, and the single player looks like it's alot more akin to its console cousins. Multiplayer looks like it's coming along well, and now, a character seems to have a sniper-like weapon.
